    Fated draws you in, and encapsulates a range of euphoric sounds, leaving you much lighter on the other side.

    If you are in the right mindset, Fated is a rewarding listen.

    Fated is an overwhelmingly pleasant listen. It is decidedly un-dazzling.

    Fated is limited in scope, frustratingly laconic, and--as befits a journeyman--somewhat derivative, but it's never boring.

    The album flows easier than Drift and Home, yet it somehow comes off as comparatively fragmentary, with 15 tracks playing out in just over half an hour.

    You might only remember the songs with words, but the rest of the album puts those moments in context.

    Something special about music is often lost in the space of the recording studio- namely the spontaneity of an artist problem-solving under limited circumstances.

    Though it’s a bit flat dynamically, Chung has a fluid, strong control of the vibe.
